Science fiction writing in Indian English literature is a rapidly developing subgenre that has contributed significantly to the success of Indian writing in English. Indian science fiction written in English faced stiff competition with more well-known and widely read works written in regional languages. Many well-known science fiction authors who have garnered a global following did so by penning their works in a language other than English. However, it is only in recent years that Indian science fiction published in English has emerged as a viable alternative to the more common translated works. The likes of Samit Basu, Anil Menon, Vandana Singh, and countless more have helped pave the way, and now is the time for Science Fiction in Indian English Literature to flourish.
